Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy. You can also substitute honey for the light corn syrup for a more natural sweetener. If you want to make these treats even more indulgent, try adding mini chocolate chips or M&M's into the mixture before dropping them onto the waxed paper. Keep an eye on the mixture while boiling to prevent it from burning.
Serving Suggestions
These Peanut Butter Krispies make a great snack on their own but can also be served as part of a dessert platter alongside other treats like Puppy Chow(For People, Not Puppies!) or My Mother'S Coffee Cake. They pair well with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.
